SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF THE SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 2515 -
PERTAINING TO REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS ALLOWING BEER AND WINE
SALES AT SERVICE STATIONS AS AN AUXILIARY USE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the following ordinance:
ORDINANCE NO. 2515 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA TO AMEND CHAPTER 26 OF THE WEST COVINA MUNICIPAL CODE
TO ALLOW ALCOHOL (BEER AND WINE) SALES AT SERVICE STATIONS AND FINDING THE
ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061(B)(3)
BACKGROUND:
Planning Commission Review
At the April 25, 2023 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 23-6126 recommending that the City Council deny Code Amendment No. 23-02 with the added recommendation to consider putting this matter on the General Election ballot. The Planning Commission also directed staff to provide the City Council survey information of what if any restrictions other cities place, obtain crime impact information, provide information on economic impacts/sales tax, research including a 2,000 square foot convenience store floor area minimum as a qualifier, and research incorporating a requirement to provide information on relevant crime statistics as part of the CUP application (if adopted).
City Council Review
The City Council held a public hearing and introduced Ordinance No. 2515 at the August 15, 2023 City Council meeting. During the public hearing, several members of the public spoke both in favor and in opposition to the Ordinance. The City Council voted 4-1 to approve the draft Ordinance with the following minor revisions:
1. Removal of the outdated standard prohibiting pay phones Revision of the standard pertaining to the prohibition of video games, as staff recommended, to clarify that systems utilizing other means of payment are included
2. 3. Inclusion of a requirement for the installation of a Flock Safety camera with license plate recognition that is integrated with the West Covina Police Department's system.
DISCUSSION:
Ordinance No. 2515 has been revised to reflect the City Council's direction during the August 15, 2023 public hearing.
The adoption of the ordinance does not automatically allow the issuance of an alcohol license for service stations to sell beer and wine for off-site consumption. The adoption of the ordinance allows owners of service stations the ability to apply for a conditional use permit for Planning Commission consideration through a public hearing process. Alcohol licenses will be issued by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control if the City approves the individual conditional use permit.
It is requested that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 2515. The ordinance will take effect on the 31st day following adoption, which is on or about October 6, 2023.
General Plan Consistency
The Ordinance is consistent with Policy 2.1 (Maintain and enhance the City's current tax base) and Action 2.1a (Continue to strengthen the City's retail base) of the General Plan. The code amendment would allow service station convenience stores to better compete with similar sized markets, which may improve their generation of taxable sales for the City.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the ordinance and approved it as to form.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Adopt Ordinance No. 2515; or
2. Provide alternative direction.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA guidelines, and the City's environmental procedures, and is found to be exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), in that the proposed action consists of a code amendment, which does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
Prepared by: Jo-Anne Burns, Planning Manager
Fiscal Impact
FISCAL IMPACT:
Per the City's sales tax consultant, HdL Companies, convenience stores with liquor typically generate approximately $7,500 in annual sales tax. However, it is also likely that new liquor sales at a convenience store may cannibalize some of the sales of liquor at other stores, so the additional annual sales tax from the liquor sold at a convenience store will be minimal.

SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING AN AMENDED MILITARY EQUIPMENT POLICY
GOVERNING THE USE OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the following ordinance:
ORDINANCE NO. 2516 – AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST
COVINA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AN AMENDED MILITARY EQUIPMENT POLICY GOVERNING THE USE OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY BILL 481 BACKGROUND:
On September 30, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 481 ("AB 481"), relating to the use of "military equipment" by law enforcement agencies in California. AB 481 seeks to provide transparency, oversight, and an opportunity for meaningful public input on decisions regarding whether and how military equipment is funded, acquired, and used by law enforcement agencies. AB 481, codified in California Government Code sections 7070 through 7075, requires a law enforcement agency to obtain authorization from its governing body, via adoption of a military equipment use policy via ordinance, approving the use of military equipment.
On May 17, 2022, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2497, which adopted a Military Equipment Policy (Attachment No. 1). The ordinance went into effect on June 17, 2022.
The Police Department has identified additional items that are considered “military equipment” under AB 481. To comply with AB 481, the policy must be updated to incorporate the additional items.
At the August 15, 2023 City Council meeting, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 2516, which will amend the current Military Equipment Policy.
DISCUSSION:
The City's military equipment inventory is set forth in Attachment No. 2. Previously approved equipment The City's military equipment inventory is set forth in Attachment No. 2. Previously approved equipment is reflected in black font. Additional proposed equipment is reflected in green font. The additional equipment is needed due to the end-of-life of the current model of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) owned and operated by the Police Department. The older model is no longer being produced and will not be able to be repaired if needed. Approving the acquisition and use of the new UASs will ensure continuous response for public safety.
These items provide trained WCPD officers with vital tools that facilitate compliance with its stringent use of force policy. It is essential that WCPD officers continue to have access to equipment that will provide as many options as possible to safeguard lives, ensure safety, and protect civil liberties. The use of these tools is vital to WCPD’s mission and will continue to be strictly regulated through internal processes and oversight.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 2516, adopting an amended military equipment policy. The Ordinance will take effect on the 31st day following adoption, which is on or about October 6, 2023.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the ordinance and approved it as to form.

i. Control a subject who is violent or is actively resisting ii. Control a subject who has demonstrated, by words or action, an intention to be violent or to physically resist, and reasonably appears to present the potential to harm officers, him/herself or others
iii. Disarm a suspect or control a subject who is reasonably believed to be armed iv. Stop a fleeing subject who is wanted for a serious crime (Mere flight from a pursuing officer, without other known circumstances or factors, is not good cause for the use of a SIM to apprehend an individual)
v. Gain compliance during tactical situations that include but are not limited to a riot or civil unrest
vi. Control dangerous animals
vii. Be used on objects to gain a tactical advantage (e.g., windows, lights, etc.) viii. Training exercises or approved demonstrations

(a) Broad-form commercial general liability, including premises-operations, products/completed operations, broad form property damage, blanket contractual liability, independent contractors, personal injury or bodily injury with a policy limit of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence. If such insurance contains a general aggregate limit, it shall apply separately to this Agreement or shall be twice the required occurrence limit.
(b) Business automobile liability for owned vehicles, hired, and non-owned vehicles, with a policy limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), combined single limit per accident for bodily injury and property damage. (c) Workers’ compensation insurance as required by the State of California, with Statutory Limits, and Employer’s Liability Insurance with a limit of no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per accident for bodily injury or disease. Contractor agrees to waive, and to obtain endorsements from its workers’ compensation insurer waiving subrogation rights under its workers’ compensation insurance policy against the City, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by Contractor for the City and to require each of its subcontractors, if any, to do likewise under their workers’ compensation insurance policies.
By execution of this Agreement, the Contractor certifies as follows:
I am aware of, and will comply with, Section 3700 of the Labor Code, requiring every employer to be insured against liability of Workers’ Compensation or to undertake selfinsurance before commencing any of the work.
The Contractor shall also comply with Section 3800 of the Labor Code by securing, paying for and maintaining in full force and effect for the duration of this Agreement, complete Workers’ Compensation Insurance, and shall furnish a Certificate of Insurance to the City before execution of this Agreement by the City. The City, its officers and employees shall not be responsible for any claims in law or equity occasioned by failure of the Contractor to comply with this section. (d) Builder’s Risk (Course of Construction) insurance utilizing an “All Risk” (Special Perils) coverage form, with limits equal to the completed value of the Project and no coinsurance penalty provisions. The Builder’s Risk coverage shall name the City as a loss payee. If the Project does not involve new or major construction, City may, in its discretion, permit an Installation Floater. If authorized, a Property Installation Floater shall be obtained that provides for the improvement, remodel, modification, alteration, conversion, or adjustment to existing buildings, structures, processes, machinery and Project No. 22016
9 Rev. 08-2023
equipment. The Property Installation Floater shall provide property damage coverage for any building, structure, machinery, or equipment damaged, impaired, broken or destroyed during the performance of the work, including during transit, installation, and testing at the Project site.
If the Contractor maintains higher limits or has broader coverage than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to all coverage, and to the higher limits maintained by the Contractor. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

9.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action.
9.2 Notice of Default and Cure Period. If either party fails to perform its obligations hereunder, the nondefaulting party may provide the defaulting party written notice of such default. The defaulting party shall have ten (10) days to cure the default; provided that, if the default is not reasonably susceptible to being cured within said ten (10) day period, the defaulting party shall have a reasonable time to cure the default, not to exceed a maximum of thirty (30) days, provided the defaulting party commences to cure such default within ten (10) days of service of such notice and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion; provided further that if the default is an immediate danger to the health, safety and general welfare, the defaulting party shall take such immediate action as may be necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the nondefaulting party may, in its sole and absolute discretion, grant a longer cure period. Should the defaulting party fail to cure the default within the time period provided in this Section, the nondefaulting party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights the nondefaulting party may have at law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement, and/or to call upon any completion or payment bond or other security for performance thereof. Compliance with the provisions of this Section shall be a condition precedent to bringing any legal action, and such compliance shall not be a waiver of any party’s right to take legal action in the event that the dispute is not cured.
9.3 Termination for Default of Contractor. If termination is due to the failure of the Contractor to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, Contractor shall vacate any City owned property which Contractor is permitted to occupy hereunder and City may, upon termination, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of setoff or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.
9.4 Termination for Convenience. The City may terminate this Agreement without cause for convenience of the City upon giving Contractor thirty (30) days prior written notice of termination of the Agreement. Upon receipt of the notice of termination, the Contractor shall cease all further work pursuant to the Agreement. Upon such termination by the City, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any other remedies, claims, actions, profits, or damages except as provided in this paragraph. Upon the receipt of such notice of termination, Contractor shall be entitled to the following compensation:
(a) The contract value of the work completed through and including the date of receipt of the notice of termination, less the amount of progress payments received by Contractor. (b) Actual move-off costs including labor, rental fees, equipment transportation costs, the Project No. 22016
14 Rev. 08-2023
costs of maintaining on-site construction office for supervising the move-off.

(d) Any costs shall not include any markups as might otherwise be allowed by any plans or specifications which were a part of the Agreement.
The provisions of this Section shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Agreement or the Bid Documents. City and Contractor agree that the provisions of this Section are a substantive part of this Agreement’s consideration.
9.5 “Claims” by Contractor under Section 9204. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be subject to all requirements of Public Contract Code Section 9204 (“Section 9204”) as it may be amended from time to time. The parties acknowledge that Section 9204 applies to certain requests by Contractor, such as certain requests for time extensions, certain requests for payments not covered by contract, and certain requests for payments of amounts disputed by City. The parties further acknowledge that Section 9204 establishes all of the following: (i) Contractor may submit a “claim” to the City, as that term is defined in Section 9204; (ii) City has an initial 45 days to review and respond to the claim to state “what portion of the claim is disputed and what portion is undisputed”. If the City does not issue a written statement, the claim is deemed rejected in its entirety; (iii) Contractor must furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim; (iv) City has 60 days from its written determination to pay any undisputed amount; and (v) specified procedures apply to resolve any amounts in dispute.
9.6 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a nondefaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. A party’s consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be considered a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
9.7 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.
9.8 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, at law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement.
9.9 Liquidated Damages. Contractor agrees that failure to complete work within the time allowed herein will result in damages being sustained by the City. Contractor further agrees that the determination of actual damages for any delay in performance of this Agreement would be extremely Project No. 22016
15 Rev. 08-2023
difficult or impractical to determine in the event of a breach of this Agreement. Therefore, Contractor agrees that it and its sureties shall be liable for and shall pay to the City liquidated damages in the amount of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for each calendar day of delay in the performance of any service required hereunder. Contractor further agrees that liquidated damages may be assessed for failure to comply with the emergency call out requirements described in the Scope of Services. The City may withhold from any amounts payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued liquidated damages. Contractor, on behalf of itself and its sureties, and City agree that the liquidated damages constitute a reasonable estimate of actual damages, and are not punitive.
10.0 CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES, NONDISCRIMINATION
10.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees. No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Contractor, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Contractor or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement.
10.2 Conflict of Interest. The Contractor warrants that it has not paid or given and will not pay or give any third party any money or other consideration for obtaining this Agreement.

AGENDA STAFF REPORT
City of West Covina | Office of the City Manager
DATE: September 5, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paulina Morales
Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES AND THE CITIES OF BALDWIN PARK. COVINA, GLENDORA, INDUSTRY,
LA PUENTE, AND SOUTH EL MONTE REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
COORDINATED INTEGRATED MONITORING PROGRAM FOR THE UPPER SAN
GABRIEL RIVER WATERSHED
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the Acting City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Agreement between West Covina and the County of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Flood Control District, and the Cities of Baldwin Park, Covina, Glendora, Industry, La Puente and South El Monte regarding the administration and cost sharing for the implementation of the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program for the Upper San Gabriel River Watershed.
BACKGROUND:
The Federal Clean Water Act of 1972 established the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Storm Water Program to regulate discharge of pollutants from point sources to waters of the United States. However, pollution from storm water and dry-weather urban runoff (non-storm water) was largely unabated for several years. In response to the 1987 Amendments to the Clean Water Act, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) implemented the NPDES Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit Program in 1990, which established a framework for regulating municipal and industrial discharges of storm water and non-storm water.
In California, the NPDES Program is administered by the State Water Resources Control Board. The first countywide NPDES MS4 Permit for the County of Los Angeles and incorporated cities therein (including West Covina) was Order No. 90-079 adopted by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board on June 18, 1990. The MS4 Permit required the Permittees to develop and implement a Storm Water Management Plan with the goal of reducing discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). MEP was the performance standard specified in Section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act. The MS4 Permit identified best management practices (BMPs) that would be used to address the different program areas, including: public education outreach; illicit discharge detection and elimination; construction and post-construction activities; and housekeeping for municipal operations.
Since then, the MS4 Permit has been renewed three times as follows:
Order No. 96-054 adopted on July 15, 1996
Order No. 01-182 adopted on December 13, 2001 (amended three times) Order No. 12-0175 adopted on November 8, 2012
DISCUSSION:
Currently, West Covina, along with 84 other municipalities (Permittees), is subject to NPDES MS4 Permit Order No. R4-2012-0175 adopted by the Regional Board in November 2012. Aside from requiring Permittees to continue implementing the above program elements, the MS4 Permit identified 33 total maximum daily load (TMDL) allocations for pollutants that the Permittees need to address and mitigate. For West Covina, the MS4 Permit identified bacteria, metals and selenium TMDLs for San Gabriel River. In an effort to comply with all TMDL numeric targets, the City is participating in the Upper San Gabriel River (USGR) Enhanced Watershed Management Program (EWMP). The USGR Watershed group is comprised of the County of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Flood Control District (LACFCD), and the Cities of Baldwin Park, Covina, Glendora, Industry, La Puente, South El Monte and West Covina. The EWMP consists of customized strategies, watershed control measures, BMPs, and multi-benefit regional projects that retain and infiltrate storm water runoff from the 85th percentile, 24-hour storm event for drainage areas tributary to these projects in the watershed. The USGR EWMP was approved by the Regional Board in April 2016.
In addition to the EWMP, the USGR group developed and implemented a Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) to progressively monitor water quality and determine the effectiveness of the EWMP strategies or activities. The County, LACFCD, and the Cities of Baldwin Park, Covina, Glendora, Industry, La Puente and South El Monte executed a Memorandum of Understanding (Original MOU) for implementation of the CIMP in October 2013. For its participation in the CIMP, West Covina executed a separate MOU with the County in June 2015. In August 2017, the Original MOU was amended to add West Covina as a party to the agreement. In addition, the Cities of El Monte, Irwindale, La Habra Heights and Walnut (Individual Cities) have entered into a separate MOU with the County for cost-sharing participation in receiving water monitoring of the CIMP. The City of West Covina executed a second Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the implementation of the CIMP for the Upper San Gabriel River Watershed in September 2019.
The CIMP is the EWMP watershed’s approach to an effective monitoring program. Existing water quality data in the San Gabriel River is insufficient. Thus, one of the goals of the CIMP is to provide a more complete profile of the receiving water conditions in the EWMP area. This is being achieved by the installation of receiving waters and outfall monitoring sites within the watershed. The monitoring specified in the CIMP is dynamic - an adaptive management process is being utilized to evaluate and update the monitoring requirements as necessary. Monitoring data from the CIMP ties into the EWMP by providing feedback on water quality changes resulting from control measures implemented by watershed members. Based on the results of the CIMP, the group may revise the watershed control measures, BMPs and/or regional projects as necessary in order to comply with TMDL requirements of the MS4 Permit. The Final CIMP was approved by the Regional Board in November 2015. Minor modifications to the CIMP were approved in May 2019.
With the current CIMP MOU scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2023, the USGR Watershed group has developed a new MOA for cost-sharing participation. The MOA was circulated to all members of the Watershed group for their review and comments.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Acting City Manager to execute the MOA.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the agreement and approved it as to form.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve Staff's recommendation; or
2. Provide alternative direction.

Scope of Work for Upper San Gabriel River WMP
Group Coordinated Integrated Monitoring
Program
Purpose
The purpose of this project is the continued implementation for up to three years of the Upper San Gabriel River Watershed Management Program Group (USGR WMP Group) Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) in accordance with the most current adopted MS4 Permit and the preparation of semiannul and annual reports.
Background
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System, Permit Order No. R4-2021-0105 (2021 MS4 Permit) was adopted on July 23, 2021 by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) and became effective September 11, 2021. The MS4 Permit provides Permittees an option to implement stormwater programs through the development of a Watershed Management Program (WMP).
The following Permittees formed the USGR WMP Group and collaboratively developed and submitted their Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) to the Regional Board, which was approved on November 13, 2015. Since the original CIMP, the USGR WMP Group has modified, and the Regional Board has approved, the USGR CIMP on multiple occasions. An updated CIMP was submitted by the USGR WMP Group to the Regional Board in March 2023 to incorporate the requirements of the 2021 MS4 Permit.
Upon approval by the Regional Board, the updated CIMP will become the Approved CIMP.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 7
AGENDA STAFF REPORT
City of West Covina | Office of the City Manager
DATE: September 5, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paulina Morales
Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF PERSONNEL RULES AND EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
RESOLUTION
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the following:
RESOLUTION NO. 2023-73 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST
COVINA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING NEW PERSONNEL RULES
RESOLUTION NO. 2023-65 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST
COVINA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONS RESOLUTION BACKGROUND:
The City undertook an effort to comprehensively review, revise and update its personnel rules in order to align the personnel rules with current legal standards and best practices. With the assistance of legal counsel and in collaboration the City’s labor groups and department managers, an amended personnel rules that reflect these revisions and updates has been prepared for consideration and adoption.
DISCUSSION:
Starting in 2020, the City undertook an effort to comprehensively review, revise and update its personnel rules in order to align the personnel rules with current legal standards and best practices. During that time, staff collaborated with legal counsel, department managers and labor groups to prepare the amended personnel rules for consideration and adoption. Although there have been piecemeal updates and amendments to the personnel rules over the years, it is staff’s understanding there has not been a comprehensive review, revision and update to the personnel rules since 1996.
There are three main areas of revisions and updates to the personnel rules:
1. Formatting and language clean-up
2. Legal compliance
3. Conformance with best practices.
On numerous occasions, staff met with both department managers and labor groups to discuss questions and concerns, and receive important feedback on the personnel rules. On December 7, 2022, the proposed amended personnel rules were considered by the Human Resources Commission. The Human Resources Commission recommends adoption of the amended personnel rules in their entirety.
Employer-Employee Relations Resolution (“EERR”)
The City's legal counsel, Liebert Cassidy Whitmore (LCW) reviewed and revised the EERR pursuant to applicable statutory changes and mandates. Because the EERR was adopted over 25 years ago, LCW made revisions to the EERR that comports with current legal requirements. Below is a brief summary of the substantive revisions and differences between the City’s existing EERR and the revised EERR.
Added Section 1.2 – Definitions:
Section 1.2 adds definitions and meaning of terms following terms used throughout the EERR.
Further notes that terms not defined shall have the meanings set forth in the MMBA.
Section 2.4 – Granting Recognition Without an Election
Legislation effective January 1, 2002, amended the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act to require recognition without an election in the case of an unchallenged majority recognition petition.
Section 2.5 – Election Procedure
Adds in the event the parties are unable to agree on a third party to conduct an election, the election shall be conducted by the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service.
Added Article III – Impasse Procedures
Section 3.1 – Initiation of Impasse Procedures
In the event the parties are unable to settle disputes arising from the negotiations process, a multi-stage impasse resolution procedure is suggested. First, at the initiation of either party, an impasse meeting is scheduled wherein the parties attempt one last time to reach agreement on a memorandum of understanding.
Section 3.2 (c) –Impasse Procedures
Effective January 1, 2012, under AB 646, if the parties participate in mediation and the mediator is unable to effect settlement within 30 days after his or her appointment, an employee organization may request that the parties’ differences be submitted to a fact-finding panel. The statute does not specify the amount of time an employee organization has to request fact finding, nor whether an employee organization can request fact-finding where no impasse mediation has taken place.
However, PERB issued emergency regulations noting that fact-finding can be requested by an employee organization regardless of whether impasse mediation has taken place and established timelines for an employee organization to request fact-finding. The resolution incorporates these timelines as noted in PERB’s emergency regulations.
Section 3.2 – Impasse Procedures
AB 646 specifies a list of criteria for fact finders’ consideration, including “any other facts, which are normally or traditionally taken into consideration in making the findings and recommendations.” It is recommended that the agency adopt the expanded criteria set forth in Section 17 (e)(2). The indicated criteria put controlling emphasis on the District's financial condition, based on the current tax rates, Board determined budgetary priorities, consideration of compensation increases to other employee groups, and the need to maintain sound reserves.
The Human Resources Commission has reviewed and recommends approval of the Personnel Rules and the Employer-Employee Relations Resolution. Additionally, each bargaining unit has been granted the opportunity to review and provide comments.
LEGAL REVIEW:
Liebert Cassidy Whitmore reviewed and revised the City’s Personnel Rules, which included the City’s Employer-Employee Relations Resolution (“EERR”).
Prepared by: Stephanie Sikkema, Acting Director of Human Resources & Risk Management Fiscal Impact

SEC. 1.10 POLICY AGAINST DISCRIMINATION, HARASSMENT AND RETALIATION; COMPLAINT PROCEDURE
A. Purpose
The City has a strong commitment to prohibiting and preventing discrimination, harassment and retaliation in the workplace. The City has zero tolerance for any conduct that violates this Policy. Conduct need not arise to the level of a violation of state or federal law to violate this Policy. Instead, a single act can violate this Policy and provide grounds for discipline or other appropriate sanctions. This Policy establishes a complaint procedure for investigating and resolving internal complaints of discrimination, harassment and retaliation. The City encourages all covered individuals to report any conduct they believe violates this Policy as soon as possible. Any retaliation against an employee because they filed or supported City of West Covina
Personnel Rules Page 12
a complaint or because they participated in the complaint resolution process is prohibited. Individuals found to have retaliated in violation of this Policy will be subject to appropriate sanction or disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
B. Covered Individuals and Scope of Policy
The individuals covered by this Policy are: applicants; employees regardless of rank or title; elected or appointed officials; interns; volunteers; and contractors.
This Policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, internships, and volunteer opportunities, including, but not limited to, selection, hiring, placement, promotion, disciplinary action, layoff, recall, transfer, leave of absence, compensation, and training.
C. Definitions
1. Protected Classification
This Policy prohibits harassment, discrimination or retaliation because of an individual’s protected classification. “Protected Classification” includes race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age (40 and over), sexual orientation, reproductive health decision making, or military and veteran status, or any other basis protected by law. This Policy prohibits discrimination, harassment or retaliation because: (1) of an individual’s protected classification; (2) the perception that an individual has a protected classification; or (3) the individual associates with a person who has or is perceived to have a protected classification.
2. Protected Activity
This Policy prohibits discrimination, harassment, or retaliation because of an individual’s protected activity. Protected activity includes: (1) making a request for an accommodation for a disability; (2) making a request for accommodation for religious beliefs; (3) making a complaint under this Policy; (4) opposing violations of this Policy; or (5) participating in an investigation under this Policy.
3. Discrimination
This Policy prohibits treating covered individuals differently and adversely because of the individual’s protected classification, actual or perceived; because the individual associates with a person who is member of a City of West Covina
Personnel Rules Page 13
protected classification, actual or perceived; or because the individual participates in a protected activity as defined in this Policy.
4. Harassment
Harassment includes, but is not limited to, the following types of behavior that are taken because of a person’s actual or perceived protected classification:
(a) Speech, such as epithets, derogatory comments or slurs, and propositioning on the basis of a protected classification. This includes inappropriate comments about appearance, dress, physical features, gender identification, or race-oriented stories and jokes. (b) Physical acts, such as assault, impeding or blocking movement, offensive touching, or physical interference with normal work or movement. This includes pinching, grabbing, patting, or making explicit or implied job threats or promises in return for submission to physical acts.
(c) Visual acts, such as derogatory posters, cartoons, emails, pictures or drawings related to a protected classification.
(d) Unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other acts of a sexual nature, where submission is made a term or condition of employment, where submission to or rejection of the conduct is used as the basis for employment decisions, or where the conduct is intended to or actually does unreasonably interfere with an individual’s work performance or create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.
D. Guidelines for Identifying Harassment
Harassment includes any conduct that would be unwelcome or unwanted to an individual of the recipient’s same protected classification. The following guidelines to determine if conduct is unwelcome or unwanted should be followed:
(a) It is no defense that the recipient “appears” to have consented to the conduct at issue by failing to protest about the conduct. A recipient may not protest for many legitimate reasons, including the need to avoid being insubordinate or to avoid being ostracized or subjected to retaliation. (b) Simply because no one has complained about a joke, gesture, picture, physical contact, or comment does not mean that the conduct is welcome.
City of West Covina
Personnel Rules Page 14
Harassment can evolve over time. Small, isolated incidents might be tolerated up to a point. The fact that no one has yet complained does not preclude someone from complaining if the conduct is repeated in the future. (c) Even visual, verbal, or physical conduct between two people who appear to welcome the conduct can constitute harassment of a third person who witnesses the conduct or learns about the conduct later. Conduct can constitute harassment even if it is not explicitly or specifically directed at a particular individual.
(d) Conduct can constitute harassment even if the individual has no intention to harass. Even well-intentioned conduct can violate this Policy if the conduct is directed at, or implicates a protected classification, and if an individual would find it offensive (e.g., gifts, over-attention, endearing nicknames, hugs).
E. Retaliation
Retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse conduct against a covered individual because of the individual’s protected activity as defined in this Policy. “Adverse conduct” may include but is not limited to: (1) disciplinary action; (2) counseling; (3) taking sides because an individual has reported harassment or discrimination; (4) spreading rumors about a complainant or about someone who supports or assists the complainant; (5) shunning or avoiding an individual who reports harassment or discrimination; or (6) making real or implied threats of intimidation to prevent or deter an individual from reporting harassment or discrimination.
F. Complaint Procedure
A covered individual who believes he or she has been subjected to discrimination, harassment or retaliation may make a complaint – orally or in writing – to any supervisor, any manager, or any department head, without regard to any chain of command. Any supervisory or management employee who receives a harassment complaint should immediately notify the Personnel Officer. Upon receiving notification of a harassment complaint, the Personnel Officer will complete and/or delegate the following steps. If the Personnel Officer is accused, or a witness to the events at issue, an individual with higher authority will complete and/or delegate the following steps.
(a) Authorize and supervise the investigation of the complaint and/or investigate the complaint. The investigation will usually include interviews with: (1) the complainant; (2) the accused; and (3) other persons who have relevant knowledge concerning the allegations in the complaint.
City of West Covina
Personnel Rules Page 15
(b) Review the factual information gathered through the investigation to determine whether the alleged conduct violates the Policy giving consideration to all factual information, the totality of the circumstances, including the nature of the conduct, and the context in which the alleged incidents occurred.
(c) Report a summary of the determination as to whether this Policy has been violated to appropriate persons. If discipline or sanctions are imposed, the level of discipline or sanctions will not be communicated to the complainant. (d) If conduct in violation of this Policy occurred, take or recommend to the appointing authority prompt and effective remedial action. The remedial action will be commensurate with the severity of the offense. (e) Take reasonable steps to protect the complainant from further harassment, discrimination or retaliation.
G. Option to Report to Outside Administrative Agencies
An individual has the option to report harassment, discrimination or retaliation to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the California Civil Rights Department (CRD). These administrative agencies offer legal remedies and a complaint process. The nearest offices are listed on the Internet, in the government section of the telephone book or employees can check the posters that are located on City bulletin boards for office locations and telephone number.
H. Confidentiality
Every effort will be made to assure the confidentiality of complaints made under this Policy to the greatest extent allowed by law. Complete confidentiality cannot occur, however, due to the need to fully investigate and the duty to take effective remedial action. An employee who is interviewed during the course of an investigation is prohibited from attempting to influence any potential witness while the investigation is ongoing. An employee may discuss his or her interview with a designated representative. The City will not disclose a completed investigation report except as it deems necessary to support a disciplinary action, to take remedial action, to defend itself in adversarial proceedings, or to comply with the law or court order.

(a) An applicant or employee with a known physical or mental disability or medical condition requests reasonable accommodation(s); (b) The City otherwise becomes aware of the need for an accommodation through a third party (e.g. a doctor’s note requesting an accommodation), or by observation of the employee’s work; (c) The City becomes aware of the possible need for an accommodation because the employee with a disability has exhausted workers’ compensation leave, Family and Medical Act leave, or other leave rights, but the employee and/or the employee’s health care provider indicate that further accommodation is still necessary for recuperative leave or other accommodation;
City of West Covina
Personnel Rules Page 21
(d) An employee disabled by pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions requests a reasonable accommodation or transfer based on the advice of her health care provider;
(e) An employee with a physical or mental disability, regardless of cause, fails to return to work following pregnancy disability leave; (f) An employee-victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking requests a reasonable accommodation(s) for his or her safety at work;

(h) An employer is aware of the need for a reasonable accommodation for an employee’s or applicant’s religious beliefs, observance or practices.
2. Interactive Communication and Potential Accommodations for Applicants or Employees with Disabilities
After the occurrence of any of the above-stated circumstances that trigger the need to conduct an interactive process meeting, the Personnel Officer will promptly arrange for a discussion or discussions, in person or via conference telephone call, with the applicant or employee and his or her designated representative, (if any). The purpose of the interactive communications will be to discuss in good faith all feasible potential reasonable accommodations. The Personnel Officer will document these communications in writing.
Depending on the facts of each case, the interactive process analysis will generally begin with a review of possible reasonable accommodations that would enable the individual to retain his or her current job. The process will generally then move on to possible reasonable accommodations in other vacant jobs, for which the individual is qualified, if there is no reasonable accommodation in the current job that does not cause undue hardship, or that does not present a risk of harm to the individual or others. The City will consider accommodations that the applicant or employee suggests, but has the right to select and implement any reasonable accommodation that it deems effective.

The Personnel Officer will inform the applicant or employee of his or her determination in writing. The Personnel Officer will use his or her discretion based upon the particular facts of each case.
4. Access to Medical Information Regarding Fitness for Duty Medical records and information regarding fitness for duty, or the need for an accommodation, will be maintained separately from non-medical records and information.
